I have so many bug bites all over my legs that I'm sat here doing the math on how bad amputation would be like really Knowing my luck I'd get phantom bug bite pain tho

This is going to get very very very bad when the arse drops out of this whole thing. Which its going to. And with literally not a single adult in a position of authority... We're so deeply deeply deeply fucked.

Heidi is one of my closest friends. She's been an ally, a confidant and a co-conspirator for well over a decade. Life has been so fucking unfair to her and I'm hoping that we as an industry can rally to help ease her suffering ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/ease-the-t...

When people ask me to do a thing by emailing my EA so she will nag me about it 👨‍🍳👌💋 genuinely no notes (You know who you are and I love you for it)

One life decision I have zero regrets about is getting paid subscriptions to @edzitron.com and @bcmerchant.bsky.social newletters I don't always get to have a rant about the stuff I'm seeing and I rarely have the energy to do so anyhow. Least I can do is help fund the people fighting the good fight

Look at all the incredible work to be presented at this year’s AIIDE! Register before Oct 10 (for the early bird rate) to see it all presented in Edmonton this November.

Not far off a perfect evening. Catching up with an old friend, getting the pups home and poking my head into borderlands. Missed these goobers something fierce

Hey, entire non-US games industry - @kyleor.land is good and trustworthy people.

There's a special place in hell for the person who decided the Steam download UI should show transmission speed in bits per second and data quantity in Bytes I hope it's where they keep the very pointy sticks

I'm traveling for work this week inside the USA and I've made a point of packing both my UK and US passports for exactly this reason. I might be a citizen now but I've still got a funny accent 😬

A+ no notes

*Opens US news site* oh shit maybe it's for real time to go home... *Opens UK news site*

I caught up with some older cousins recently who were the COOLEST to visit growing up cos they had both a NES and a SNES. Turns out they thought I was the luckiest cos I had a real computer to play different games on (I was an Atari ST kid) Everything's subjective ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

😬😬😬

The fun thing about having a urologist and getting regular abdomen x-rays is knowing I have more kidney stones brewing. Makes every little twinge really laden with dramatic tension. Is that a little ouch or a precursor to THE BIG ONE????

I've never sat with some of the classics. This week I read the Foundation trilogy and it's been super interesting. You can see where Dune and Star Wars and even B5 drew inspiration. It's clearly a seminal work of its time. It's a wee bit shit by 2025 standards tho

It's habanero hot sauce o'clock!

Genuinely having an existential crisis about if I need to give up steak and eggs or if it's ok to have a little overlap with these dickheads

It's my absolute pleasure to present to you our labor of love: Poly Fighter! We are HeartLoop Games! ♥

Chicken thighs cold smoked for two hours then hot smoked and painted in homemade Peri Peri sauce

"Appeals court deems US tariffs illegal, leaves them in place" -- yep that seems completely par for the course. Protip: if something is illegal and you don't stop it, congrats that's legal now

Welp that's my 22,000 word manifesto finished and shipped and Jaina is currently licking on my toes to celebrate 🥰

Genuinely one of the best parts of the GenAI hype has been taking the time to read @edzitron.com - just an incredible turn of phrase in every paragraph

Big deadline at work that I'm having to pull real late nights to deliver. Second night leaving the pups to sleep over at their daycare. They love it but I super don't 😞

When you suddenly ask... "Wait what war was the chicken guy in that he was a Colonel? WHAT WAR???" (It's fine, it was an honorary thing. He sounds like Not A Great Guy but we don't need to boycott)

Just worked out that on top of my normal job I've been writing about 20 pages a week this month. Jeeeezus I'm tired

It's Friday evening and I am once again asking when we are doing a Butlerian Jihad. Soon? Please let's do it soon

Hahahahhahahhahahshhsbdkkfnf jdjrbuebduxvbejxibshsh exhxbdbd

Listening to Beastie Boys lyrics as a middle aged guy hits different Oh is living at home a drag you little shit? Life is so harrrrrd. Shut the fuck up

I was truly shocked yesterday to find someone using PRODUCT in a spreadsheet and had to ask why. In hindsight, obvious: if you never learned code how the fuck are you supposed to know that * is a multiplication operator Really reinforces how much of tech remains engineer-coded in an unhealthy way

Alternative headline: Zuckerburg recognizes he's exceptionally hated and an existential threat to humanity. Spend on security reflects what an absolute bastard he is. luxurylaunches.com/celebrities/...

New ick just dropped (Now cropped cos I didn't realize the profile name was visible)

Oh god I just saw the GI.biz article and hooooooh boy are you fucking serious with this reporting???

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 congrats to @unormal.bsky.social, @jfg.land and crew. Tremendous stuff!

I see we're now onto Buzzword N+1 - ASI Artificial Superintelligence How about you work on General first lads? Or counting how many Bs are in a word? God almighty the whole world has lost their minds that this is being allowed into mainstream articles without critical inspection

Coolcoolcool... No doubt no doubt. So... Ububtu still doing ok?

I just finished moving all my home security cameras off Ring and onto a private self-hosted solution. Feeling pretty happy with that- and bonus that most of my outdoor units are now pan/tilt!

Stripe shut down their headquarters phone. Close the main gate and the hordes can't get in, eh? If you or a friend or relative works at Stripe, we need internal phone numbers and emails. Admin Assistants. Managers. VPs. Directors of Fraud. Audit Readiness. It's siege tactics time.

The day comes for every parent when they have to have The Talk

People all why the hell I've stayed in the US given y'know. Everything. And it's cos the Idiocracy has an even tighter hold on the UK

Yes - above average for once!

Currently downloading a 130gb game* wondering what the fuck could possibly be in that data *Not the one you're thinking of. Or the other one you're thinking of

This right here

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

Today I came up with an actual genuine authentic AI workflow idea that I tried to build in n8n. It did not go well. Starting to suspect this is all bullshit...

Oh no! Anyway... Source: Ars Technica share.google/phLXJFvqeEDE...

LOL Musgrave

This one hits close. Romero hurt but John and Brenda are ethereal elders, it's... Distant? Removed? Bithell is my era's boy-made-good story. If none of these titans can make it work, we are all so so so cooked.
